Critical reception

[edit]

A review on Billboard stated that "whenever Robbins and former Billy Hill band mate John Scott Sherrill get together to write, wonderful things happen."[1]

Music video

[edit]

The music video, directed by Marc Ball, features Robbins singing and playing his guitar while a young woman (who is portraying as Mona Lisa) is seen dancing, blowing bubbles, letting go of a balloon, and riding in a car. The ending of the video shows a picture of the Mona Lisa in the back seat of a moving car. The video was filmed in the town of Mesilla, New Mexico.[citation needed]
